Application Guidelines
TECTYL® 2472 VC is formulated to be used as supplied. This water-based coating requires specific handling and application considerations.
Surface Preparation:
- For maximum performance, metal surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of rust, oil, and mill scale
- Recommended substrate temperature during application: 50-95°F (10-35°C)
Application Methods:
- Can be dipped or sprayed using conventional or HLVP spray gun
- For optimal results, ensure ambient and product temperature is between 50-95°F to allow for proper film formation
Important Notes:
- Water-based formula should not be exposed to freezing conditions
- Daubert recommends storage above 40°F and below 100°F
- Wet film can be removed with soap and water (up to 30 minutes after application)
- Dry film is not intended for removal
- The resulting dry film leaves no residue when touched, making coated goods easy to handle
Storage and Handling
- Store at temperatures between 40-100°F
- Protect from freezing temperatures
- The dry film is not normally intended for removal
- Refer to Daubert’s Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety instructions
